The White Chronicle

Chapter 13 -Music of Conflict

Tsunade's men rush towards the gate to take their positions and form a row of spears. Archers climb their watchtower and prepare a volley of arrows to the yokai. Snail shamans are casting their magic to weave sticky silk traps across the village. "Make those traps invisible and place it choke points. Make sure that their progress within the city is slowed and our men have the advantage!" Tsunade yells as she goes around the village on her horse instructing her men.

The guardians are about to rush in but Jasmine tells them to wait. "Alright listen up. There is a lot of yokais rushing now and we need to stay in contact during the fight. Juan, remember the stunt you pulled at the Inn? You manage to talk to me thru the frog, do that again but this time to all of the guardians." Juan whistles and frogs leap out of the shadows and brushes near them. Each one leaps on the other guardian's shoulder. "I used basic telepathic magic on the Chronicler. I will use the same this time and use the frogs as a conduit of my magic. Keep them at your side at all times" Juan instructs the guardians.

Jasmine opens the White Chronicle and started to show the guardians the pages regarding the yokai. The pages go on and go on as there are a lot of variants of yokai they will face tonight. "This is why I need communication. You go out there and tell me who you see; I will help you find the weakness of the yokai you will be facing."

The yokai and the men started to clash outside and the men are outnumbered but not outmatched. Each of Tsunade's men is a capable warrior but they will not last long once the bigger yokais came near them. Then a moment of clarity came to Jasmine.

"Trust on me. I might be a kid but I played a lot of PC games that taught me how to handle these. First up, Gil, you take the rightmost side of the village. I see yellow fires from that side. Use the canals around the village to your advantage. Keep them at bay and don't let anyone up those walls." Gil nods and didn't ask any question. He rushes off and shouts "I will trust you, Chronicler, give me the best fight".

"Next up, Atlas. I will be sending you to the left side of the village, near the river. I will be taking you and Gil out of your element. The yokais you will be facing there will be water-related, crush them with your strength. Don't let anyone escape you. Got that?" Atlas gave Jasmine a big grin and replied "Ah! A challenge. I love how you lead us already." Atlas rushes off towards the left side of the village and leaps over the wall.

"Amihan and Tala, your combination of fire and wind are good. I will leave you guys dealing with them." Jasmine points her finger to the sky and sees umbrellas and fireballs start to rain from above. "Your job is to negate any flying type yokai and if you see any of them flying back to the castle, send them back to us." Tala and Amihan start to fly and Amihan then cast her winds to boost them even faster.

"Kislap, you are fast and your lighting will give the enemies a hard time keeping up with you. Prioritize the small ones you can kill and call me when there are troubles. Do not let up but do not strain yourself, got that?" Kislap gives Jasmine a wink and in a flash, he disappears right before her eyes.

"Kulog, your job is to kill the big and slow ones. Use your sounds to disorient the bigger one and go for the kill. Do not go alone and join the men of Tsunade. Defend them as you defend me." Kulog nods and snaps her finger. A rumbling of thunder can be heard then her metallic rod falls from the sky.

"Juan, remember how you dealt with the Onis? Do that again. You know them already and you know their weakness. Go for their eyes." Juan gives Jasmine a big hug and lifts her in the air. "My! How fast you grow! What happened to you in the past few hours?" Jasmine laughs as Juan puts her down and he began to channel his magic. "I am not a little girl anymore Juan. I need to act like the Chronicler of this world. Oh! And give Leshin a frog too. He will need it."
